"The person next to me was created as a gift for me and I was created as a gift for the person next to me. On earth all stands in a relationship of love with all: each thing with each thing. We have to be Love, however, to discover the golden thread among all things that exist." Chiara Lubich
We have to be love.
Just as faith has to have works, love has to be proved.
Yesterday we were reminded to live moment by moment.
In each moment, take heart!
Love the person in front of you or next to you.
Friend, family, stranger...
Be love for that person, in that moment.
These moments are precious.
"Chiara Luce understood that we can act according to this plan of love; we can correspond to it by loving others. She realized that we cannot waste even a tiny piece of this plan, which is fulfilled in the very smallest things. She strove always to abide in love but, like the rest of us, sometimes forgot. Then she would regain control of herself and begin again, without delay." 15 Days of Praying with Blessed Chiara Luce Badano
Blessed Chiara, we ask for your intercession to help us be love in the world.
Help us to remember that each moment is a gift.
When we forget, remind us to begin loving again.
Moment by moment.
"It is by living the present moment that crosses become bearable." Chiara Lubich
Be love.
I remember first discovering Chiara Lubich in an IMPRINT magazine a couple of years ago. I love her quotes! Blessed Chiara, we ask for your intercession to help us be love in the world. I am with you on that one G!
